Chapter 399: The Truth End
Chapter 399: The Truth End
Di Tian looked at Wang Wei's body that was sent flying away with a deep frown on his face. Just now, when he decided to attack with all his strength, he made a mistake in the amount of force used.
With all his years of experience and control over his body, how could he make a mistake?
"Luck," he muttered. While thinking about it, he felt a mysterious power that subtly influenced him to make the mistake. And that power was luck.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei had a sigh of relief after being sent flying. At the last moment, he activated the ability he acquired from the Qi Luck Trial to become a Son of Destiny.
This is the reason that Di Tian made a mistake at the last moment; this is the reason he survived that attack.
While flying away, Wang Wei felt like he broke through some kind of space barrier, and when he landed, he found himself inside a small world. Immediately, he saw a blood-red stone on the ground next to his landing spot.
Immediately, Wang Wei knew that this stone was his life-saving straw. He held it in his hand while observing it with his Divine Sense which was very unstable and on the verge of collapsing.
Then, Wang Wei laughed out loud maniacally, however, deep inside was a touch of sadness.
"Is this the power of the Son of Destiny? Who would have thought that one day, I would have to rely on pure luck to survive; the world is truly full of ups and down." After saying this, a lot of his very hidden arrogance was washed away; he became more mature.
With one check, Wang Wei knew that this stone was once bathed in the blood of a Great Emperor. To be precise, the blood of the God-King that all the Gods in this world revered.
Because of this, a soul was slowly nurtured and even gain some sentience after so many years. After a few years, a new spirit race would be born, and one with unmatched talent as well.
Without hesitation, Wang Wei sacrificed a few more dozens years of his life span to activate his spiritual power to seal the soul inside the stone, sealed it, and placed it inside his space ring.
Then, he looked at Di Tian who had torn the space of this small world. Feeling a sense of danger, he rushed straight toward Wang Wei to finish what he started.
However, a golden light came out from the stone and enveloped Di Tian. Once Wang Wei could see anything again, only an eyeball was floating in front of him with a small cauldron surrounding it.
"Emperor Artifact!" he muttered.
Then, Di Tian's body instantly regenerated.
"Emperor level attack," he said while looking at the blood-red stone. A few seconds later, he sighed.
"There is nothing I hate more than people who has luck on their side."
"You talked as if destiny has never been in your favor," replied Wang Wei.
"I despise destiny," said Di Tian, his voice full of hatred. "I have been fighting it all my life, and it has never been kind to me."
He took a deep breath. "Well, it doesn't matter since I'm still the winner."
"Yes. You're the winner, and I'm the survivor," replied Wang Wei calmly. As soon as he said these words, he felt that something had left him and was absorbed by Di Tian.
He knew that it was the Eternal Emperor's Destiny. As the victor of this battle, DI Tian is entitled to this compensation–just like Wang Wei once took some destiny from all his victory against Ji Song, and his victory against Lin Fan.
With this destiny, Di Tian's strength will increase, he can use it to survive most dangerous situations and many more. In general, his chance of becoming an Eternal Emperor has greatly increased.
Although he knew this, Wang Wei did not care that much. This is how the Battle of the Throne was. Heaven Chosens fought to kill one another or take away each other's luck or destiny.
One defeat did not mean much.
As for the reason that Wang Wei did not use the stone to defeat or kill Di Tian, that's because he knew that it was impossible. The stone only absorbed a few drops of blood from the God-King.
And after so many years of nurturing that spirit race, not much power is left. So, he could probably activate it only once or twice more, which is not enough to kill Di Tian given the fact that he survived the first attack.
The best course of action for Wang Wei is to use this stone to break through the formation that blocked this world. As long as he reunited with his sect, he would be safe.
Both he and Di Tian knew this, so they decided to stop this fight as it was pointless at this point.
Di Tian then looked at Wang Wei with a sneer on his face, "Do you think that this is the end? Do you think you will come out of this without any consequences?"
"What do you mean?"
"Look around you," said Di Tian.
Immediately, Wang Wei took a deep look at his surroundings for the first time ever since this battle began. Fist marks and sword scars could be seen in everything in the space. He saw that there was nothing but an empty void, with even the sun and the moon destroyed.
There were no living things in sight. All the habitants of this world–whether mortals, gods, animals, women, children, and the elderly–were all dead; all casualties of this battle.
Then, Wang Wei's face became ugly. After inspecting his body, he could smell a terrible rotten stench along with a red hue that surrounded his body and even soul.
His aura changed to that of a fiendish one. Anyone who saw him would think that he was a devil that slaughtered countless people simply for his pleasure.
Additionally, he finally knew where that crying sound came from. It was from all the grievances that surrounded his body. Trillions of souls crying and blaming him for their deaths and the destruction of their homes.
Their cries were impossible to ignore or block no matter the method; this fact alone would drive most people crazy after a certain period of time.
Wang Wei raised his head to look at Di Tian and noticed that he was perfectly fine. He raised his head to look at the formation in the sky, his face becoming even more unsightly.
"Finally noticed," said Di Tian. As an excellent strategist, he knew that there was a great chance that he would not be able to kill Wang Wei despite the overwhelming difference in strength.
The reason is that all Heaven Chosens are people with tremendous luck and cannot be so easily killed. This is the reason that only after defeating Ji Song three times that Wang Wei finally killed him; this was a manifestation of his luck.
Adding to that the fact that Heavenly Dao has been plotting against him for many years, Di Tian was prepared for his eventual failure. So, one of the purposes of the formation was to place the Karmic Sin of the death of all the people of this world and its destruction on Wang Wei.
And with such terrible Karma, many things will go wrong for him. For one, his future cultivation will be dozens of times more difficult, the strength of his soul will decrease because of the grievances, his future Heavenly Tribulations will be more difficult, and many other negative things.
"Anyway, my job here is finished."
After saying that, Di Tian disappeared along with the formation and the Emperor Artifacts that he brought. At some point, he played with the idea of using the artifacts to finish the job.
However, after considering it for a moment, he decided otherwise. The Emperor Artifacts were powering the formation. If he moved more of them, the people outside can take this opportunity to break the Crystal Wall and entered.
Additionally, Di Tian knew that having more Artifacts was not necessarily a good thing for a single individual. The reason is that even with one artifact, most cultivators could barely use all its power.
Most Quasi-Emperor can only use 5 to 15% of the power. As for Di Tian, he could probably use 20% or more of one artifact. However, doing so could severely affect his foundation–especially in his current state when he does not have the Power of Law to power up the Emperor Artifact.
Using the Artifact in his current cultivation stage would require Di Tian to use his origin essence, his spiritual power, and blood energy. All things that could affect his foundation.
Di Tian knew how important his cultivation foundation was to him to complete the 9th reincarnation. So, after mulling it over for a few seconds, he decided not to take the risk.
According to the data gathered, Wang Wei's potential is currently at 7th reincarnation, while his strange Will-related attack reached 8th reincarnation; so, he was still not a big threat to him.
What he has to worry about is the outlier, Wu Hong. She's also one of the reasons that he gave up. He did not know what she would do if something happened to Wang Wei.
After leaving the Heavenly Abode World, Di Tian teleported back to the Myriad Emperor World. He looked to the sky with hatred and snorted coldly before taking out a while ball from his head.
The white ball entered the ground before completely disappearing, then, Di Tian returned to his clan.
